A chain-free, long-lease one-bedroom apartment in the contemporary Rivermill Lofts, positioned beside the River Roding and opposite Barking Abbey. The 560 sq ft open-plan layout includes an integrated kitchen, balcony, double bedroom with built-in wardrobe and a bathroom with bath/shower. An available EWS1 certificate and modern finishes make it move-in ready.
Transport and local amenities are strong draws: Barking station is within easy reach with Underground, Overground and C2C connections, plus shops, markets, eateries, a theatre and leisure facilities nearby. The flat’s fourth-floor aspect provides good natural light and a quieter position within the block.
Be clear about local challenges: crime levels in the area are very high and the wider neighbourhood is classified as very deprived. Service charges and ground rent apply (circa £1,484 service charge, £300 ground rent) and the property is leasehold, though the lease is extremely long (990 years). These factors affect outgoings and suitability for some buyers.
This apartment suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking a well-presented, transport-linked property with low immediate maintenance needs and long-term security from a very long lease. Buyers prioritising a low-crime, low-deprivation area should consider this when viewing.
